May NY world sugar #11 (SBK25) today is down -0.13 (-0.73%), and August London ICE white sugar #5 (SWQ25) is not trading with markets closed in London for the Easter Monday holiday.
NY sugar fell from a 1-week high today and turned lower as a sell-off in equity markets sparked risk-off sentiment in asset markets and weighed on sugar prices. Sugar prices today initially moved higher after the dollar index (DXY00) sank to a 3-year low. Sugar also had positive carryover from last Thursday on news of reduced sugar output in India after the Indian Sugar and Bio-Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) reported that India's sugar production from Oct 1-Apr 15 was 25.5 MMT, down -18% from the same period last year.
